Chapter 115: You can tell by looking at it that the defense is about to break.
Cheng Yuefeng leaned back on the hospital bed, feeling the unignorable pain still coming from his right arm where the medicine had just been changed, his pale face tinged with gloom.
"Captain Cheng," the captain of Team Three, who had come to visit him, leaned against the end of the bed, arms folded, and sneered, observing his miserable state with a look of sarcasm. "Things are very different now. Medical supplies are extremely scarce. You and your team keep getting into these kinds of trouble, and the little we've collected is almost gone."
Hearing him say this, Liu Yang, who was guarding the bed, looked over unhappily. "Team Two also has a share in the safe zone's supplies collection. What's wrong with us using them? Isn't it normal to get injured accidentally at a time like this?"
"Accidental injuries are normal, but there are those who deliberately seek death," the captain of Team Three said, turning around and bending over, his hands resting on the railing at the foot of the bed. "Captain Cheng, supplies aren't really important, but you have to consider your own life, too. If it weren't for the reliable doctors in our area, your arm would be crippled. What a shame."
He clearly knew what the other person cared about most, and his knife stabbed him right in the heart. "Young people really act too impulsively, not only do they suffer, but they also bring trouble to those around them."
Several people in their second team were injured to varying degrees this time, but their injuries were not as serious as his. In an emergency, they were unable to kill the mutants, so they found an opportunity to evacuate first.
It was a battle that could have been handled more cautiously, but it ended up like this. Even though Cheng Yuefeng was mocked by the other party so closely, he was completely unable to refute it.
Liu Yang was also very aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and looked angrily at the person who was taking advantage of his misfortune. He felt a slight pain in the wound on his waist.
Liang Qun's eyes swept to both sides, feeling that it would be inappropriate for him not to speak now. "Well, it's already happened. There's no point in saying more. It's better to remember this lesson. Next time when facing an Altered Item, I should be extremely alert and not make such a mistake again."
"The deputy district chief is right. When I return, I'll warn my men to take this as a warning." The captain of Team 3 laughed sarcastically again and said, "Captain Cheng, you should have a good rest. I won't disturb you. I'll come to see you next time."
After he finished speaking, he raised his chin complacently and turned away under the other person's cold gaze. Seeing this usually pretentious smiling tiger change his face, today's trip was not in vain.
After he left, the atmosphere in the room relaxed a little. Liang Qun lowered his eyes and looked at the man with an ugly face. He sighed slightly and reached out to pat his left shoulder. "Don't be too emotional. Take care of your injuries."
Cheng Yuefeng lowered his eyes and said nothing. Two days had passed, and the scene of the accident was still in his mind. This time, he was indeed emotionally impulsive, which led to this consequence.
But he really was unwilling to accept this. Whenever he thought of Jiang Jie's attitude of not taking the A-level mutant seriously at all, and his strength to suppress the opponent with just one move, he felt indignant.
When he was in school, he attracted the attention of his classmates because of his excellence. No matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with his classmates' grades. At first, he also looked up to this strong person and wanted to be on par with him.
But at the same time, I feel it is unfair. He has obviously put in the effort, but why is the reward not equal to his own? The other party even wastes time working after school. He is not as focused on his studies as I am, but he can always stay at the forefront.
After graduation, he could only get a job in a medium-sized enterprise. However, at that time, Jiang Jie seemed to have started his own business. Before the end of the world, it was heard that his company had grown to a considerable size.
And now the end of the world has come, he has awakened his supernatural powers, and finally became an enviable strong man, enjoying the admiring gazes of ordinary people.
But just when he was most proud, Jiang Jie appeared again. He was still as dazzling as he was in school. Just by sitting there, people could spot him in the crowd at a glance.
At that second, the first thing Cheng Yuefeng recalled in his heart was actually the slight throbbing in his youth.
But he didn't expect that the other party was still a dark cloud hanging over his head, which could not be shaken off.
He was even in love. Cheng Yuefeng had never seen that kind of expression on Jiang Jie's face. He really liked that handsome and fragile boy.
At that time, he himself couldn't explain his feelings. He was jealous of the young man, and resentful of Jiang Jie for still having everything.
The moment she saw him take action, this hatred seemed to reach its peak. He was still unable to reach the other party's ability, and he could even give away the precious crystal that he could not get to please his lover.
And even though he already had everything he desired, they turned against him.
When Cheng Yuefeng realized this fact, he was very puzzled. He didn't understand why the other party was like this, but when he guessed it, he actually felt a strange sense of joy in his heart.
Jiang Jie is dealing with me, so does that mean that he has taken me seriously and regards me as his opponent?
So he went to verify it in person and look for a result.
When facing the hateful look that came from unknown reasons, Cheng Yuefeng was afraid. It was a natural fear of the strong, and this instinct made him unable to restrain himself and flee.
And after calming down, that little bit of joy came over me again. Look, the other party is no longer so arrogant. He really regards himself as an opponent.
After that, Cheng Yuefeng was both afraid of being targeted by a person who was much stronger than himself, and he also enjoyed the feeling of being "cared for". In the midst of this contradiction, he urged himself to become stronger quickly.
Then, this incident happened. He lowered his eyes and looked at his right arm which was wrapped and fixed tightly, with a gloomy expression. It seemed that his luck was always just a little bit short of the mark, and there would always be an accident at the last moment.
And Jiang Yan, who even came to watch the fun when Liu Yang and Qi Shang were injured last time, has been completely missing these past two days. Doesn't he hate himself? Then shouldn't he come and mock him like that rubbish just now?!
"Captain?" Seeing his expression inexplicably twisted to a hideous look, Liu Yang thought he was just furious and tentatively called him.
Cheng Yuefeng came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and raised his eyes. His glasses were damaged in the previous accident and he hadn't gotten new ones in the past two days, so the other person's face was a little blurry in his vision. He loosened his clenched left hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Seeing his face return to calm, Liu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but look at him. Lately, he always felt that the other party was weird, not at all like the calm and self-controlled captain before.
Liang Qun's gaze fell on his face for a few seconds, and he said, "Then you should take good care of yourself recently. Don't worry about the affairs of the district for now. Everything will be settled after you recover."
Having said that, he looked up at Liu Yang and said, "Liu Yang will take charge of Team Two for the time being. He's always by your side, so he should be familiar with some things."
Just because of this incident, many people among the psychics have doubted his ability, so it would be better to let him retreat first. No matter what, he did make a mistake because of his reckless behavior that resulted in injuries to himself and his teammates.
When he said this, both of them were stunned. Cheng Yuefeng looked up at him and asked, "What does the deputy district chief mean by this?"
Liang Qun immediately raised her hand to calm him down, explaining, "Out of consideration for your health, I want you to focus on recovering. Furthermore, you were indeed at fault this time, and there's been some criticism within the district. Having Liu Yang temporarily take charge is for your own good. Don't worry, I don't intend to directly revoke your captaincy."
But even after he said that, Cheng Yuefeng's mood didn't improve much. He turned to look at Liu Yang standing beside the bed, and actually saw a hint of a smile on his face. His eyes darkened for a moment, then returned to normal. "Okay, I understand."
Liang Qun patted his shoulder again after hearing this and said, "Then you should have a good rest. I still have things to do in the district, so I'll leave first."
He withdrew his hand and prepared to turn and leave.
"Deputy District Chief Liang," Cheng Yuefeng called out to him, his tone relaxed as if he was just asking casually, with a hint of joking in it: "I wonder what the senior has been doing these past two days. My junior is injured, why didn't he come to see me?"
Having actually asked him, Liang Qun's mind shifted, realizing Jiang Jie had hit the nail on the head. He pondered for a moment before replying, "He said he's been bored in the district lately, so he took Lin Mian and your district chief to clean up Altered Objects outside the safe zone. He left yesterday and probably plans to stay out for a few days. You know his abilities well, so he's just going out to relax."
He actually ran out to relax at this time, and brought that useless Lin Mian with him. He was really confident that he could protect him. Cheng Yuefeng's left hand clenched the quilt covering his body, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes.
Liang Qun looked at him silently, thinking that Jiang Jie really knew how to read his mind. He no longer had the gentle demeanor he had before, and it was obvious that his defense was about to break.
The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while. Liu Yang looked around inexplicably, not knowing whether he should break this atmosphere.
But before he could think clearly, Cheng Yuefeng calmed himself down, looked up and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand. Goodbye, Deputy District Chief."
Liang Qun didn't say anything else, just nodded at him, turned and left the room.
The moment his figure disappeared outside the door, Cheng Yuefeng's expression suddenly became gloomy. He took a few shallow breaths, but still couldn't help but threw the water cup on the bedside table.
The glassware was very fragile and shattered all over the floor amidst the splashing water. The fragments almost scratched Liu Yang's face, but luckily he reacted quickly and dodged it with his face turned sideways. "Captain..."
"Get out!" Cheng Yuefeng glared at him. He had not forgotten the smile on the other's face when he learned that he would be the acting captain.
Liu Yang is a team member under his command, but he is also a superpower, so naturally he has his own pride. The other party has never spoken to him in such a bad tone before, and he felt a little unhappy for a moment.
But considering that he was injured and in pain, he would be in a bad mood, and he was just ridiculed by the captain of the second team, he could understand his emotions a little.
So she pursed her lips and walked out in silence, leaving him some space to calm down.
The anger seemed to have affected the wound. Cheng Yuefeng only felt that his arm hurt more. There was almost no blood on his lips. He turned his head gloomily and stared out the window, spitting out two words through gritted teeth, "Jiang Jie."
